THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME, Vol. 13

As players of Monster Hunter and Dungeons & Dragons know, the slime is not exactly the king of the fantasy monsters. So when a 37-year-old Tokyo salaryman dies and wakes up in a world of dragons and magic, he's a little disappointed to find he’s become a blind, boneless slime monster.

Mikami's middle age hasn't gone as he planned: He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in a dead-end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he's disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he's not a knight or a wizard but a blind slime demon. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero...

During his rise from a humble slime to the chancellor of the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru has tackled his fair share of trials and tribulations. But this latest challenge is unlike any he has faced before - a challenge where the lives of loved ones hang in the balance. While there is a solution, it may involve the most drastic cost yet...
